Birthday

[sanada_g]

 Thank you for the birthday wishes. Though it seems weird to celebrate my birthday without my closest friends at hand. I look forward to proper celebrations when everyone returns. 


Instead, I enjoyed a quiet birthday dinner with my family. My niece even helped to make me ichigo daifuku for dessert. I hope rest of the evening remains peaceful despite what people may be saying on the journals. 

Sanada-sama also enjoyed the ichigo daifuku.

Those look delicious. Do you think she'd make me some after I come home?

You're only a request away from being here with Renji and I in Paris...

[sanada_g]

Since you enjoy spoiling my family, I'm sure they'd make some for you.


... You should be focusing on your tennis. You don't need me there as a distraction.

[gtl_yukimura]

I can't help it. They've been lovely to me over the years.

I'm focusing just fine. Didn't you see me annihilate my opponent this afternoon?

[sanada_g]

You're basically family to them at this point, Yukimura.


You know I did. And I want you to keep that level of focus.

[gtl_yukimura]

That's sweet.

There is zero chance of that happening.

[sanada_g]

Why is there zero chance?

[gtl_yukimura]

Adrian and I have had a disagreement.

[sanada_g]

Oh...

Would you like me to come? I'm sure I can justify a katana or two to customs.

Screened

[gtl_yukimura]

You are not bringing katana to Paris.

He's just not keen on a long-distance relationship. Which I understand. I'm more mad that he couldn't wait until after the Open to talk to me bout it.

Screened

[sanada_g]

Fine... how about a bokken?


Tch, he's far too weak for you. It's best to rid yourself of him now even if his timing is atrocious. Merely another strike against him in why he's unsuitable. He clearly doesn't appreciate the concentration your tennis requires.

Screened

[gtl_yukimura]

No.

It has nothing to do with tennis. I did just spend about a month and a half in Japan while he was in France. It sucked and I don't like it any more than he does.

Re: Screened

[sanada_g]

Spoilsport. But I do need to bring my shinai. Grandfather won't be impressed if I don't practice.


Fine. But his timing is atrocious.

Screened

[gtl_yukimura]

You can't hit him with it. Promise me.

I agree with that. I told him as much.

Re: Screened

[sanada_g]

For you. I promise.

Hmph... how is your focus doing? Renji is helping, right?

Screened

[gtl_yukimura]

Thank you.

Clearly, it's doing wonders for my focus. Of course, Renji is helping.

Screened

[sanada_g]

He's not worth your ire again.

For now. But annoyance as focus will only get you so far.

Screened

[gtl_yukimura]

If he can't handle me at my worst, then he doesn't deserve me at my greatest.

It's not annoyance. It's frustration. There's a clear difference.

Screened

[sanada_g]

Your worst is not even that bad. Especially since your greatest is unparalleled.


Of course... Though frustration will hardly get you through the whole tournament either.

Screened

[gtl_yukimura]

There are few people who have seen me at my actual worst.

I think it'll serve me well during the qualifiers.

Screened

[sanada_g]

And it didn't scare me nor Renji off. It's not that bad.


True. I don't see the qualifiers being much of an obstacle for you.

♥

If they are, there's a serious problem.

[xyzai]

Sanada-sama looks a bit threatening in that one.

Happy birthday.

[sanada_g]

I'm still working on my photography skills. I'm thinking about buying a magazine about it.


Thank you.

[xyzai]

I could link you to some blogs, if you want.

[uzauza]

a good year to you for next year as well. it is good you at least had sanada-sama and family to celebrate with you.

[sanada_g]

Thank you. Family and friends are both nice to have around you for birthdays.

[love_doc]

belated birthday wishes Sanada-han.

[sanada_g]

Thank you, Oshitari-san.

[love_doc]

My absolute pleasure

[tezuka_k]

Omedetou, Sanada.

[sanada_g]

Thank you, Tezuka.

[gomenchai]

... I hope you ate those instead of just pretending Sanada-sama ate them.

Happy Birthday.

[sanada_g]

Of course, I ate them. I wouldn't waste my niece and mother's hard work.

[gomenchai]

Well that's good, at least.

[naniwaspeed]

Is that... a rock beside your daifuku? ヾ(･|

Happy belated birthday to you directly~ I said it on Tanegashima-san's thingy, but I don't think you saw it. So!

[saypassion]

That ichigo daifuku looks delicious. I'm certain that you and Sanada-sama must have enjoyed it immensely.

As it seemed that you hated the idea of a birthday party, at least let me give you a gift.
